About MPEG Transport Stream (TS)
An MPEG transport stream (TS, MTS, M2TS) is the container used for digital TV broadcasting and Blu-ray. It is built from small fixed-size packets that tolerate transmission errors.
TV recordings, AVCHD camcorder files (.mts), Blu-ray discs (.m2ts) and HLS streaming segments.
The packet structure adds overhead, and many editors and phones do not open TS files directly.

Why won't my media player open the .ts file I recorded? A transport stream is written for broadcast, so many players expect a renamed or converted container before they accept it.
About 3GP
3GP is a container format defined by the 3GPP for mobile phones. It is a simplified relative of MP4 that typically holds H.263 or H.264 video with AMR or AAC audio.
Videos recorded on older mobile phones, especially before smartphones.
3GP videos are usually low resolution and heavily compressed, and converting them cannot add detail.
Why convert video to 3GP? Almost only for very old feature phones with tiny screens; any smartphone plays MP4 instead.
What changes when you convert TS to 3GP
